ALL ABOARD...

I've just watched the "Polar Express"-well, at least four times counting the times I watched with my kids. Anyway, the premise is this magical Christmas train taking these kids to the North Pole to see Santa Claus. They are all of different racial and economic backgrounds-rich and poor; smart and not so smart. There are perilous mishaps that take place on the journey to Santa. I tell you this, in spite of all things that went wrong the trip was in a word :magnificent. And in the end the moment when Santa appears makes it all the worth while. Our life is like that train . It's a trip . A trip that all races and nationalities can embark upon. You can be filthy rich or dirt poor-this journey is for you. And in the end, there is Jesus-waiting for you. The trials and tribulations that we will face on this journey will be worth it when we see Jesus! It's not about riding the train- it's getting on board that counts.
